I don’t remember much of the rest of the day. Beta Rudy carried me out of the office and brought me back to the apartment. I vaguely remember Hazel helping me into some borrowed pajamas right before she handed me a large cup of cocoa and tucked me underneath a large comforter on a small but cozy bed.

The next morning I was almost my old self again.

There’s a note on the nightstand. “Rudy called. He says you can take a day off of work.”

Thank Goddess.

Looking over at my phone, I check the date and time and a calendar message reminds me I need to sign up for classes.

I haven’t paid yet, and I can’t sign up for classes until I pay.

And even though I haven’t quit yet, I have no plans of going back to collect my check. Ugh!

“What am I going to do?” I ask Hazel as I eat some leftover pizza from the night before. “I need the money, but there is no way I can go back to that place. It was terrible.”

“Alpha Sly feels very protective of you. Alphas are possessive by nature, but the

ALPHA PRIME MAGAZINE JUNE 15th, 202X ALPHA SYLVESTER (SLY) STERLING is the CEO of STERLING INCORPORATED and the current ALPHA of the SILVER CRESCENT PACK. INTERVIEWER: Tell me, Alpha Sylvester, how does it feel running the biggest pack on the West Coast without a permanent Luna? ALPHA SLY: Please, call me Sly. And It feels liberating, Joe. INTERVIEWER: But don't you miss the constant companionship that having a true Luna brings. ALPHA SLY: Not at all. INTERVIEWER: You've been using Rental Lunas since the break up of your marriage to ALPHA LUNA Alexis Greystone 6 years ago? ALPHA SLY: That is correct.  INTERVIEWER: You two were once seen as the power couple on the West Coast. She was the daughter of the previous alpha, correct? Everyone thought you'd be together forever. ... ALPHA SLY: Except for her... INTERVIEWER: Do you care to explain...?

  • The Alpha and the Rental Luna   Chapter 207

    [Calyx] The way she calls me by my rank hits me like a slap. Within the boundary of Clearwater, I am Commander Paige, the heartless son of the Great Leader. I was a weapon, crafted from the best of the Brotherhood, blended with the worst of the monsters to be their slayer, the one who could heartlessly command countless supernaturals to their own damnation. To witches, I felt like a witch, infiltrating their covens and taking their children for experimentation and sport. To the wolves, especially the rogues, I was the alpha turned executioner, keeping my pack of rogues on a tight leash of fear. And underneath it all, I was human as well. It was that humanity that clung to, seeing it as my only claim to salvation–nothing I was doing was WRONG if I was doing it for the RIGHT reasons. Yes, I was a spy, a betrayer, a murderer, a beast–but I took on all of these identities, all of these sins, for the greater good of humanity. Because I wasn’t raised to know any better. And for the

  • The Alpha and the Rental Luna   Chapter 206

    [Amaryllis] “Who said she was part of the deal?” It’s a simple sentence, neither sharp nor soft, but it hit the night around us like a slap. And everyone goes very still. “I said I’d bring her, not that I’d sell her to you,” Calyx clarifies. “The cargo I promised is in the second van. Six healthy, highly skilled gammas for your experiments. 4 males, 2 females, all very fine specimens. Some may even be hybrids–We have so many in our pack.”Calyx’s smile is as brittle and frigid as ice. “Those are for you. But she is exclusively for my use,” My mate clarifies. “She’s mine–That was the deal.” My heart skips. His words are cruel, but the feelings coming through our bond are warm. He is trying to defend me without giving himself away. He needs to look like he’s following along. “Deals change,” Uncle Chancy gargles, his words rough, like churning gravel. “She’s a hybrid. She’s far too valuable to go to be personal property. She belongs to the Brotherhood.” “SHE BELONGS TO ME!” C

  • The Alpha and the Rental Luna   Chapter 205

    [Amaryllis]Following my mate’s orders, the caravan breaks up, with vans going in every direction except for back the way we came. “They are expecting us to come alone,” Calyx explains. “Don’t worry, our men are prepared for what comes next.”The edges of Calyx’s grin look sinister in the moonlight. He’s not just expecting violence, he’s looking forward to it. Almost as if he knew it was coming. My body tenses. “Did you know…” I ask directly, not wanting to play games or leave anything open to misunderstanding. “Did you know they were going to attack tonight?”“No,” he shakes his head, “Lysander and I suspected something might happen tonight, that’s why we were prepared with so much security,” exhaling slowly he adds, “but we had no idea what that attack would look like. My connections in the Brotherhood hinted at something big, but they don’t quite trust me enough to give all the details. This,” he points upward, where another blast sounds overhead, “is likely a test of my loyalty.

  • The Alpha and the Rental Luna   Chapter 204

    [Amaryllis][At the time of the attack]The sky glows like sunrise, the power of several missiles exploding above us, tearing apart the near perfect dark of our moonlit night. Dawn is still several hours away, but as the air burns behind us, it looks like the sun is about to eclipse the horizon.It is equal parts beautiful and terrifying. Despite what others may have thought of my past behavior, I was never the cold-hearted bitch everyone assumed. I loved my husband, my father, and my pack with a devotion past sanity. And while I may not have a pack anymore, at least not officially since being ejected from Silver Crescent, I still care about those wolves. Including their alpha.I never stopped. I don’t think I can.“We have to go back,” I hear myself say as I look back at the chaos of light in the sky over the palace. “Now. Calyx. They could be…” I can’t finish my sentence, not wanting to curse everyone with my thoughts. But I can’t help thinking about the wolves I once cared for as

  • The Alpha and the Rental Luna   Chapter 203

    [Hazel] The stunned looks on the faces of the gathered wolves slowly shift to terror as the first drones make it into the tunnel, their silent hums reverberating off of the stone walls. We have maybe minutes before they discover the truth, and then it will be too late. “Explain.” Rudy looked worried, but also hopeful. “Do you have a spell?” “Not exactly,” my heart flutters with warmth. He’s my husband now, but he’s also an alpha and responsible for more lives than just ours. Taking a chance on an unknown skill…that’s risky. But he is willing to believe in me. And that means everything. “Okay, so what if I did something like I just did, but in reverse?” I begin, detailing my plan in rapid fire sentences, short, brief, and concise. “We run, and I crash the helicopter–properly this time, making it look like we crashed into the side of the cliff. If I angle it right…” “You could close the passage behind us,” Rudy sees my plan clearly in his mind through our bond and I can see
